The AE911Truth Petition
To the Members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate of the United States of America,
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT:
On Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the undersigned Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and affiliates hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 – specifically the collapses of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. We believe there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that might have been the actual cause of the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7.

With a focus on structural engineering and design, I received a Bachelor of Science degree (with honors) in Architectural Engineering. I assisted in the design of bridge structural components for a large project for the Texas Department of Transportation. I designed reinforced concrete and steel components for bridges. I carried out laboratory and field research to better understand the mechanisms of premature failure of reinforced concrete structures. I received a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering, with a focus on construction materials. I have also worked as a project manager for a foundation construction company.
I have spent hours listening to eyewitness accounts and analyses by engineers and scientists on the topic of the causes of collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. I can only come to the conclusion that the commission for the official 9/11 report was grossly negligent in its investigation. Not only were critical details omitted from the reports, but blatant lies have been and continue to be spread regarding the actual events on September 11, 2001. I am a scientist and engineer in support of a new, correct, scientifically sound, and comprehensive investigation into the causes of collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7, as well as a criminal investigation into all people associated with one of the most horrific crimes in human history.

Occupation: Fire Protection Engineering Consultant
Worked for over thirty years as a fire protection engineering consultant for a world wide insurance company not involved with the towers. Have a BS in Environmental Science and nearly enough credits for an M.S. in Fire Protection Engineering with classes taken at OSU and UMaryland. Spent a number of years in an investigative role both with the insurance company and as an Assistant Fire Marshal with a town in Pennsylvania. In addition, have taught at University level on fire protection systems, and building systems for fire protection.
I have, since the buildings fell, had questions about how they fell. I mentioned to my wife, shortly before they fell, that is would be almost impossible for the buildings to fall due to the lack of sufficient heat loading and due to the fire protection systems in place within the buildings. In addition, in over 30 years in the fire business, I have never seen a pancake collapse of the nature that happened here. I have long wondered about water weight loading from the shattered sprinkler systems, which would have continued pumping until empty or without power, yet have never seen anything about water weight presented by any official investigation that takes that into account in any way.

Occupation: Concept, Design & Photography
I graduated architecture school two years ago, and started my own practice 4 months before graduating. I follow my instinct on everything, and August 13th, 1999 changed my life forever!
After I saw the second building fall, I instinctively wanted to know where George W. Bush was and I wanted to see his face. I didn't buy the Oklahoma bombing under Clinton or the first World Trade Center bombings, and I wasn't buying this either. I felt that Bush's face and his reaction would be very telling; I was right! He was overly nonchalant, after being told, and went on to say that he saw the first plane hit while he was waiting in his limo; that footage hadn't even aired yet, to the public. And when i saw that he was told at an elementary school setting, about the plane hitting the World Trade Center, it made me suspicious. It felt like an overly innocent setting. It wouldn't be until I found out that George W. Bush, Laura Bush and General Tommy Franks went to elementary school together; that the elementary school setting felt like a creepy homage. And when I saw a video-tape of a former CIA agent, turned whistleblower, that spoke at Portland State University 1-1/2 months after 9-11, there was no turning back, in my mind, that it was an inside job. He started out by saying that while the planes may have been remotely controlled, he wasn't going to talk about that. He was going to stick to what he could prove as fact; his presentation was convincing, even without demonstrating that the planes were remotely controlled. I got cable earlier this year, and started seeing exceptional documentaries, which showed 9-11 for what it was. Now, I don't doubt that those planes were remotely controlled. Especially after hearing from those like William Rodriguez, who heard explosions in the basement floors 7 seconds before the first plane hit. 7 seconds! That's exceptional timing. And to know that citizens who saw the planes before they hit, say that they didn't recognize the planes as passenger planes, but rather, as windowless commercial-type planes. I'm so happy that architects and engineers are finally speaking out!

I'm a 40 year old Union Ironworker and live in Manhattan New York.I've been Ironworking for about 14 years and have been on some of the biggest jobs in the U.S. over that time. I moved to New York on July 4th weekend of 2001 from California and got a job out of local 40 Ironworkers hall to work on the Willie B. bridge and 2 months later I got a front roll set to the biggest event in U.S. history. Seeing it live and talking my own photo's and then going down there and seeing it for myself and helping clean up the mess that was left behind and breathing all that bad air seamed worth it at the time but now with my heath and seeing new evidence about the event has made me wonder that if the terrorist did not do it then who did and why. I don't want to die from this like so many others and not know the truth.
All I want is the whole truth nothing but the truth so help us God!!! And if we as tax payers have to spent 10 billion in building a new tower the same as the old one and slam an aircraft into it again to find the truth then that's what we should do that's not that much more money when you look at all the money we have spent on this illegal War and all the lies. My freedom means a lot to me and the truth shell set us free!

I went through a college course studying fire prevention. I did numerous street actions in Montreal with the 911 truth group there and still I am trying to get as much info as I can to people around me.
When explaining 911 to people, I always start with building 7, the building that supposedly collapsed due to small fires. Always funny to see that people do not know about that building. There has been a case of a skyscraper in Montreal burning for hours and none of the city experts present had the mere thought it would collapse. Of course, even though the fire destruction was vast, it remained standing. One more well-known case is the tower in Madrid.

Overwhelming physical evidence proves the three buildings were intentionally demolished. Building 7 owner Mr Silverstein is on record saying he gave permission to pull it. Rather than preserve the scene and evidence, the beams were immediately trucked away for recycling. The three top members of the 9-11 commission say their report is a cover-up because the government withheld information, gave false info, under funded the investigation and rushed them to conclude. The truth must be promulgated.

Today I am a private small business owner of an Energy Services company. Formerly, I worked for 28 years for Eastman Kodak as a building design engineer, construction manager, construction division department head, and Corporate Real Estate Director. I am a mechanical engineer by education. Part of my training was in statics and dynamics. I participated in the design and construction of a 26 story high rise building. Additionally, I was licensed and taught Kodak management executives a proprietary process for problem analysis and decision making. As such, I am a logical thinker that reacts to data rather than emotion.
Because of my experience with the design of a box frame high rise tower, I have always (from day one) been troubled by the official explanation for the 9/11 building collapses. Based on what I know from my experience, these buildings could not collapse in the pattern that they did from the heat of a plane crash. Simply stated, it is not physically possible. I have kept my thoughts mostly to my self. But when my grandsons questioned the truth, I decided to look into the available data to help them form their own conclusions. I do not yet know - just as anyone else - exactly what was the cause. But I do know that the cause is not as supported by our government.

The WTC destruction was eerily similar to that of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Both had bombs placed in strategic locations throughout the building to bring the buildings down without toppling over onto surrounding buildings. The Murrah Building, however, had television footage that told of firefighters and emergency workers taking unexploded bombs out of the building before the national powers were able to spin the story to use of only one outdoor fertilizer bomb. Both had the evidence carted off before a full investigation could be completed and both allowed critical documents concerning dubious projects to conveniently be destroyed. Finally, both had agencies that occupied those buildings that told their workers not to go to work on those fateful days.

I am not an architect or a structural designer. I would not attempt to argue against such professionals.
I have viewed every article, video, etc. that I could find both pro & con. I find no believable evidence to support the official claim and overwhelming evidence to refute it. There can be only one reason not to open a truly independent investigation. The truth lies in the decision.

Occupation: Metal Stud Framer Drywall Installer
I am a born and raised commercial metal stud framer/drywall lather and applied technologist. I graduated in 2001 at the top of my class of the 46 northern California counties carpenters union Drywall/Lather's apprenticeship training. I am a certified metal stud framer/drywall installer with ten years documented in the drywall lathers union, 6 years apprenticeship training. All hours logged and documented. Born and raised into the trade with my entire lifetime evolving within metal framing, drywall, lath and plaster, and all applications and building systems. My father was project manager/field foreman supervisor with 40 years experience on a majority of the biggest building projects in California since 1970.
I would like to add mostly to some important details that I have not heard mentioned at all. During my career building elevator shafts, fire corridors, and fire safe stairway escapes, I would like to remind anyone who has ever seen a fire sprinkler system activated, which is activated without delay when the diesel tractor engine starts, even just one little sprinkler has an amazing amount of water within a minute or two, and both WTC buildings would have had very noticeable amounts of water drenching inside and out. The buildings most likely would have had water gushing outside of the building. Even if the main line was severed, the loss of pressure in line would have caused an unbelievable amount of water being pumped from the system engine running at full blast. From my experience, after an hour or two, the entire area would have been flooded and even run into the street for blocks. As for Building 7, the sprinkler system would have eliminated any source of heat.

Have worked in the construction field for multiple years and have a general understanding structures and the natural forces that apply. A long interest in physics, history, and the knowledge to be able to separate personal intuition from emotion.
As a 13 year old boy I was completely horrified as I watched the Towers fall into a cloud of smoke and rubble, and even then, having no prior experience with structures I knew that the collapse of the Towers defied my sense of logic and common sense. That intuition of something being wrong led to personal investigation, the discovery of Building 7, and the many holes that exist in the official story today. History has repeated itself, and it's time to wake up. Re-open the 9/11 investigation now!
